Connie Berry was raised by antiques dealers, which gave her a passion for history, fine art, and travel. She studied at the University of Freiburg in Germany and St. Clare’s College, Oxford, where she developed a deep affection for the British Isles. These experiences directly shaped her Kate Hamilton Mysteries.
The Kate Hamilton series launched in 2019 with A Dream of Death, set on a Scottish island. Each book takes Kate to a different English or Scottish location where antiques and old secrets intersect with modern-day murder. Berry won the IPPY Gold Medal for Mystery with her debut, and the series has been a finalist for both the Edgar and Agatha awards.
Berry also writes the Chief Inspector Blackstone Mystery series, which began with Murder at Holly Lodge in 2022. Her short fiction includes holiday-themed mysteries and the occasional standalone novella.
